You’ve seen my collection of security envelope patterns, and my found cards collection. Now, behold my collection of novelty paperclips. Look how cute!!!

The dachshund, the flamingo, and the teeny tiny clip with the adorable little smiling face (the one both arrows are pointing toward) are my favorites.

I’m sorry to say I don’t have sources to link. Many of them came in kits from a line of scrapbooking products that no longer exists (RIP), and the others have been in my collection for so long that I don’t remember where they came from. I’m sorry, too, for the photo quality. We’ve officially entered the season of unpredictable lighting, and I no longer have a proper lighting setup. iPhone photos and some adjusting of brightness, contrast, saturation, and/or shadows will have to do for the next several months.

Not pictured: A giant hand-shaped paperclip that I forgot to photograph because I actively use it to hold open my small weekly calendar and therefore it’s not stored with the rest of the collection. Oops! It looks exactly like this one (I bought mine a few years ago from a local store I love (Cargo) and have no clue how much I paid for it). (This is the only paperclip in the collection that I actively use. The others sit in a cute dish on my desk for my viewing pleasure.)
